Hold on to what is good, Even if it is a handful of earth. Hold on to what you believe in, Even if it is a tree Which stands by itself. Hold on to what you must do, Even if it is a long way from here. Hold on to life, Even if it is easier to let go. Hold on to my hand Even when I have gone away. We love you, Nana.
